It started out a cold winter day in 1991 after several months of soldiers coming home from war. Some of the families affected by loved ones who had died in a local area gathers for a prayer remembrance service at a local courthouse, and then planned to go to the town’s graveyard in Lewisburg, WV, remembrance service to honor other fallen soldiers of the civil war wattle that had taken place in town. The townsfolk and the civil war re-enactors headed over to the death angel statue, located at the center of the grave yard.

They started to say a prayer for remembrance of the fallen soldiers when someone heard a laughing, as if a little girl was playing in the graveyard, and thinking it was one of the children of a family that came today, he stopped service to just to tell the group to keep the small children quiet during service. 

The group looked at the service leader as if he were crazy, for there were no children in the graveyard. The service leader thought it strange and kept wondering to himself if he just heard the girl who died in the school bus crash, or if was even the Angel of Death, laughing and giggling at him and everyone else in the graveyard. 

After giving the prayer and the group leaving, he went to the grave of the little girl and the death angel and left a giant jaw breaker. Since he would be going through town tomorrow, he decided he would check on the candy. So he returned. Once again, he heard the little girl laughing and giggling at him.

“Is anyone there?” He asked as he walked up to her grave. To his surprise, the candy was gone, and in the snow by the gravestone on top of the grave “thank you” with a smiley face. He checked on the death angel’s grave next to find the candy gone. He thought to himself, “Well, small miracles take place when you least think of them happening. So I made their Christmas day.” 

The next day, he went over to the local caretaker of the graveyard and asked him if he had heard the voice of the little girl or the death angel before, and why it was called the “death angel”. “Yes,” the man replied. “There are two girls graves in the graveyard. One is the death angel, who when someone kisses it they die. The other is the little girl over there who died in the bus crash. Why do you ask?” 

The service leader replied, “did you go by either of their graves yesterday morning and remove some candy I left at their graves or write anything on near the little girl’s grave?” The caretaker smiled. “Oh, they are playing again with people. No, I did not write anything. So you’re the one who made their Christmas morning. I could hear them playing and laughing as if someone made them happy.” 

The service leader thought to himself, “ A true Christmas miracle it must have been.”

Lost and Found - After My Mystic Vacation to Maui

Another story by Nina.
This happened to me a couple of years ago, It all happened after a most successful vacation to Maui in Hawaii. I am not going to bore you with the details of my vacation but I will include this because it is of importance to the story.

After one month on Maui, I had been very lucky shopping and filled one medium sized suitcase with all sorts of trinkets, my travel clothes, a couple of beautiful muumuu's, soaps, bath salts and other vacation memorabilia, I did not however include any lava rocks as I already knew about the stories of bringing bad luck from taking rocks from Hawaii. My other larger suitcase which I bought on Maui one I filled with books of religious importance, I have always been a big fan of Mother Theresa and one of the days I felt drawn to a second hand shop located near my hotel, it was there I found works by Mother Theresa, scriptures written in Hawaiian, and a few other rare religious books which were of importance to me.

On my way to Norway my luck ran out, as our flight had been delayed from New York into Europe we lost our connecting flight in Frankfurt, and they ordered all that was heading to Oslo to board another day flight that was leaving in 20 minutes, and not to worry about or luggage which would be shipped after us on the night flight. 

I was not to worried about my luggage though I felt certain that it would take a while before I saw both of my suitcases again. The smaller one filled with gifts, memorabilia and trinkets was found and delivered to me after one month. My larger luggage piece, filled with religious literature and some of my most fancy dresses were not to be found anywhere. 

One month, two month three month passed and nothing, then on one morning sixth month after my return, I was walking to the bathroom still half asleep, as a piece of paper stuck to my foot, I removed took one more step and it was back stuck, a third time I removed it and again one step later it was plastered to my foot, I figured oh well I guess I have to read you then, to my surprise as I held up the piece of paper it was the lost luggage claim from six month earlier, with all the numbers and information on it. 

I figured this have to be sign, as I continued my morning routine I knew something was about to happen, just as I was getting ready to call up the airline my phone rang, it was the airport in Oslo, they had located my luggage in Frankfurt earlier and shipped it to Oslo and it was now on its way to Tromsø, they also informed me that they were arranging the airport in Tromsø to deliver my long lost luggage and told me they would deliver it to my door before 4PM. on the same day, at this point my hearth was pounding. 

I thanked God for keeping my luggage safe, time flew by so fast that day, and just as promised 3.51PM was my Hawaiian motif luggage delivered, it looked almost as new as when I put it on the plane back six month earlier, just some minor wear on one corner, I opened it and it was like opening a piece locked in time, nothing inside seemed to have shifted or moved, with tears i pulled out the various religious books that I had found in the second-hand-shop in Maui.

Abide With Me: The Power of Hymns

Abide With Me, 

A Hymn by Henry Francis Lyte 1847 and music by William Henry Monk 1861

Wikimedia Commons

I am now going to share with you one of my strongest experiences, and a testimony to the power of hymns in my own life. This is not the only time I felt the miracle powers of hymns, but is defiantly one of the most inspiring and most powerful ones that I have experienced. This happened in Honolulu, Hawaii in June 2005, after months of struggling with emphysema, pneumonia and at this time still unknown to me sepsis, this Sunday was especially struggling and I was only able to take a few steps and speak no more than two-three words before gasping for air, still I felt a strong urge to partake of in church, including the hymns.

As I started to sing "Abide With Me" I felt like a power filled me and I was able to sing fully and with more strength than I could even have imagined, as the verses were sung I felt more empowered and a total feeling of well being replaced the struggle of breath. The beauty of the song bared with me and I felt so filled with joy.

I finished the song to the end, and the guy next to me turned over and whispered, that was truly divine, I have never heard anyone sing like that before, his eyes filled with tears as he gave me a hug, not only was the singing of the hymn helping me but it touched those around me. And I was able to talk and felt unencumbered for the next few hours of church, though everything felt easier even when in struggle, the next week I underwent treatment at the hospital and within days I felt a lot better.

"Abide With Me" was actually written and first set to music by Henry Francis Lyte while he lay dying from tuberculosis; he survived only a further three weeks after its completion in 1847. I believe he was there with me giving me the strength to sing his hymn to the fullest.

The second experience I am sharing with you happened a few years later, my grandmother at the age of 94, was on her death bed and my family were there gathered around her singing hymns, as we sang we all could feel it lift her spirit. The song of the hymn helped her drift peacefully over and as she did she filled us with the glory of her joy of again seeing us all clearly and hear us with absolute clarity again for the first time in decades.

With this I know there are true power in hymns, the power to bring peace at heart, the power to bring healing to the sick and needy, and the power to let the holy spirit dwell in our heart, to let us know the joy that God feel when we cherish the gospel by song.

Evil Entities - Demons

Illustration by PJ 2005

When we think of demons, we think of an evil, nasty, spirit. The term demon did not always mean that, in its greek origin δαίμων (daimōn) the term was used to refer to any divine entity. It was when christians and the christian faith seem to take over in Rome which already had adapted the greek use of the term, and spread through out the world that the term demon came to be of meaning of an evil spirit. Actually, I believe that a demon is an entity. The word entity can mean several things. For use in my  paranormal field of research and, this entry of the Paranormal Corner, we will refer to the term demon as an evil nasty dangerous entity. A demon was never of this earth and in christian beliefs, demons are the angels that were cast into hell from heaven along with Satan, making the term demons and devils equivalents.

The real problem with a demon is that you could have one in your home and not really know it. As described in Miracles - Gift of Tongue Xenoglossy, a demonic entity tricked someone thinking it was performing miracles and was a good entity. In another account The Possessed Role Play Game book a demonic entity entered a friend of mine through a book describing demonic channeling and conjurations for a game. Another example that show some typical signs of the demonic is in Three Scratches. Demons are also considered by some to be of a different dimension, making them ultra-terrestrial beings. Oppressions and Possessions are some also some of the other tail signs of a Demonic entity at play. Sometimes one get opened up for demonic possessions through practice of black magic or use of Ouija boards, Like described in the entry My first exorcism by Rev. Alaina Damewood. And the entries Possessions and Mary and the Quija Board by Jose Prado. Some members of the demonic are half-breeds like the Hags (Demon witches). Demons are universally affected by Salt, which is used in both protection against and in part for exorcisms.

I am sure that you would know that something was going on and, you may even that there we some kind of paranormal activity happening but, would you be able to tell it was demonic activity? A demon can fool you and make you think it is a nice spirit or a spirit of a loved one that has passed on. After it gains your trust a demon will start it's attacks on you, they are very patient and sometimes wait years slowly breaking you down and then one day moving in for the final blow. Demons can indeed cause you harm and have been known to even make people kill themselves. A demon will have no problem with taking over your body when it has got a foothold by having you accepting it and welcome it into yourself and thus using yourself to make you do its will.

Two of the fastest ways that I know of to cause a demon yo attack you and ruin every thing you have including your relationships, home, job,and even your life, is to use an ouija board and, or attempt a seances. An ouija board should never be used for any reason and a seances should only be attempted with a qualified medium! Even then, there is a chance that an inhuman manifestation could come into your life because you have just opened the door for it by having a seances. You have then in fact, invited it in, an good example how wrong things could go is in the can be read in the entry Mary and the Quija Board.

Some people say you can tell if a spirit is demonic or not by the odor it may cause. An odor of burning, rotten flesh is at times associated with a demonic haunting. A demonic haunting is an intelligent haunting because it can scheme and it is destructive of the person or persons that it is attacking, other phenomena known to be associated with demonic possessions is xenoglossy and phantomania, though phantomania could be present in non demonic experiences too.

There are some people that do not believe in demons as evil inhuman manifestations from Hell. These people tend to believe that some people are the demons and that they are indeed evil people. Everyone is free to believe what ever they choose to believe. For myself, I believe that demons from Hell and other places do indeed exist.

I would advise anyone who has reason to believe that they or a loved one or friend is being possessed by a demon or has a demonic haunting in the home or even on their land to contact a local paranormal investigation team for help and for the most part, paranormal teams do NOT charge for their services. Usually, once a person is possessed by a demon, a blessing needs to be done along with a house blessing and, cleansing along with a religious ceremony and, sometimes a deliverance or if accepted by the Catholic Church as a demonic haunting one could get someone from the Catholic Church to perform the approved exorcism, this is not the only way to do an exorcism, other religions than the christian church can also do this, as described in the entry Remote Exorcism.

Evil entities are mentioned in all religion even though the name for them differ the description of them are eerily similar pointing to the fact that this type of evil demonic haunting is universal and in opposition to all benevolent entities or angelic entities if you like.

Sheena's Christmas Angel

When I was a kid my family lived in Connecticut. In our community there were no rich people. My family however, had it better then most. Three doors down from our house lived a family that was not on welfare or anything, but I can say at the end of each month when all their bills and rent were paid there was no money left over at all and some months there was not enough money to pay rent, all the bills and buy food.

In that house lived a family with two kids, Jason which was 12 years old and my best friend and Sheena which was 5. Now, I remember one-year things were so thigh that they had no money for Christmas. I still remember how Jason’s Mother borrowed $20.00 from my Mom so she could buy her children each one small Christmas gift. Since Jason’s Dad could not afford a Christmas tree he went out and found a big branch cut from another tree, put a string of lights on it and an angel on the top.

On Christmas Eve afternoon Jason and Sheena’s Mom sat in the living room of their very modest home looking at the poor excuse of a Christmas tree crying because she wanted Christmas to be special for her kids. She was so sad and heart broken.

Sheena walked up to her Mother and crawled up in her lap and gave her Mom a big hug asking her why she was crying and her Mom replied because we have no food left and I wanted this to be a Happy Christmas. Upon hearing that, Sheena told her Mother that she shouldn’t cry and that this would be the best Christmas ever. Her Mother asked Sheena how she could know that and Sheena replied that the angel told her so. Shocked by what she had just heard Sheena’s asked her what angel and Sheena pointed to the so-called Christmas tree and said that angel mommy. Not wanting to discourage Sheena, her Mother forced a smile and said that’s right honey; this will be the best Christmas ever because I have you and you’re brother and daddy.

Later that evening when the whole neighbor hood was at midnight Christmas church Service Sheena and her family sat through the entire service as well as did the other neighbors that attended the service. When it was over Sheena had fallen asleep and her Mother carried her out to the old car they had and Sheena’s brother and dad followed.

When they arrived home Sheen’s Mom walked into the house to find that in the kitchen there was food. So much food that they could eat for a week. There were pies and cakes all sorts of vegetables and milk and juice. Also in the fridge was a huge turkey just waiting to be cooked in the oven. Shocked and surprised, she took Sheena to her room and put her to bed and returned to the kitchen and her son and husband stood there in awe.

They all three walked into the living room and found a 6ft tree all decorated and with plenty of gifts under the tree. Sheen’s Mom remembered what little Sheena had said about the angel and, as Sheena’s mom looked up at the angel, she saw a glow leave the top of the tree and float to Sheena’s room and stay there. Sheena’s Mother began to cry tears of joy. No one ever found out where the tree, gifts and, food came from. So, you see my friends there are really angels, always looking out for us and protecting us. We just have to learn how to let them into our lives.

Miracles - Gift of Tongue - Xenoglossy

Photo by PJ, Honolulu, Hawaii 2008

 This experience, the gift of tongue was something a close friend of mine experienced. His experience was not like when Pentecostals speak in tongue and fall into a trance babbling words which have no meaning, contributed to be by the divine inspiration of the holy ghost. In my friends experience, which was for a period of three month five years ago, given the gift to read and understand any modern or ancient language, the scientific term for this is Xenoglossy.

It all happened when suddenly a voice spoke in his mind, telling it had a gift of knowledge for, the gift of understanding languages, and this gift was only a small part of the greatness he could gain by the power of the divine. Naturally he did not believe this to be so, but over the next days I noticed my friend was singing songs in ancient Latin, and when I helped him with translating it was indeed ancient nursery rhymes, hymns and such.

I also helped him test the gift by reading ancient Aramaic and Sumerian texts that had been translated and was available online as pictures, and with the translation, in every case he seemed to accurately read the texts with ease like he knew those languages fluently. I am no scholar of languages but in a few of the texts it even seemed he found the wording in the translations were indeed slightly off, which he claimed was because the scholars had mistranslated some of the words and sentences.

When it came to modern languages he described that it felt like the illusion of languages was removed, he wrote letters in Portuguese and said he could hear the true meaning in any spoken word regardless of what tongue they where spoken in, he especially remembering listening to a group of Chinese youth that were chattering among themselves and even-though he had never studied mandarin Chinese he knew what they were speaking and what type of Chinese tongue this was.

The voice that spoke, which also gave it's name soon proved not to be the good it claimed to be, but even after he denounced it and refused to accept its "gift". He described how he had to work really hard to avoid using the gift of tongue until it slowly dispatched into normal language skills. When I checked the name with him it proved to of an ancient Sumerian entity of evil, demonic, I will not repeat the name and avoid remembering it because such evil could be awakened if one open up the door that was to shut back 5 years ago. This is in part of another of my entries, The Possessed Role Play Game Book.

The Prayer Rock

 Photo by PJ 2010

My Mother carried with her a small rock that is placed in a small cloth sack and tied shut with a silk ribbon. I can remember when I was just a little boy of 5 years old or maybe 7 years old I kept seeing this sack and sometimes when we would leave the house I would see my mother slip it into her purse. One day I remember asking Mom just what it was. She also told me that someday it would be mine.

I didn't pay to much attention to her words about it because as a child all I saw was a small rock. At that age I had a very hard time thinking that a rock could make any difference in my life. However, Later my Mom told me that the rock was blessed by an angel. Now how that came about and how my mother knew that it had been blessed by an angel I do not know. Mom just always seemed to know that.

As I grew up my mom started to have serious health problems and ended up in the hospital several times. To make a long story short, each time the doctors said she would not make it due to her diseased and very weak heart. However, each time my mother went to the hospital I grabbed her prayer rock and took it out and started praying for her recovery. My mother had a love for life and I didn't want her to die young, so when this started to happen she was only in her 50's and each time she went to the hospital her heart was weaker then the last time.

It seemed like the prayers and the prayer rock worked. As my mother did recover and lived to be 80 years old before she passed on. I now have the prayer rock, as she said I would and believe me there has been many many times that I have used it.

My Guardian Angel

This is from Bruce in LA. California.

When I was growing up my parents was always telling my brother and I about angels, how the angels would look out for us and protect us. One night just a few years ago I was involved in a car accident. The accident was not my fault but they still had to use the jaws of life to free me from my car. I was banged up pretty bad and I didn't know it at that moment but, the damage to my right leg was really severe.

In the emergency room they did what they could to fix me up and admitted me to the hospital for my injuries. I was told the next day that my right leg would have to be amputated, all the doctors said there was no way to save it. I just would not hear of that. I couldn't see going through life without my leg. I started thinking about what my parents always told us boys about angles and I started to pray to God of all my heart to help me keep my leg.

To my surprise after praying all day and most of the night. Then around 1:30AM one of the night nurses came in my room to up hang up new medicines. We were talking when all of a sudden. I asked the nurse if she could scratch my right leg for me because it itched really bad.

The nurse told me there should be no feeling in my right leg what-so-ever however, but she did scratch it through the bed sheet and then we both could see a soft white light shining from under the sheet. The nurse pulled the sheet off from my lower leg and the light just seem to sit on my lower right leg. We were both speechless and after a few seconds the soft white light just floated away and disappeared.

That next morning when the doctors made rounds he came in and looked at my leg and to my surprise the doctor said I damn well do not believe this but Bruce, you're leg looks as if it is healing. they did more test on my leg and the results showed the bones in my legs were back together and the swelling started to go down some that very day. I started getting the itching again as I gained more feeling to my leg. They now they call me the miracle patient. The first test showed the legs was crushed. Bones broken and the whole 9 yards. The second test and x rays showed the leg to be healing very nicely.

The surgery to amputate my leg was canceled and to this day, I do have a limp when I walk but I still have both my legs. I think God sent an angel to look over me and answer my prayers. All three doctors who were taking care of me said they have never seen anything like this before.

The miracle of healing - Prayers

This one is from my friend Colin in Hilo, Hawaii.

The effect of healing by faith and prayer is one of the best known type of miracle, and its effect is well known in all religions, even those that do not believe them self has been proven in blind studies to do better than groups not prayed for while being sick.

I wanted to share my story with you, I was suffering from the last stages of keto-acidosis where the blood turns almost black, I had double sided ear infections since my immune system was so weakened by the sickness that had been progressing for almost one year at this point, I was in and out of consciousness, as the body had lost most of its ability to transport and take up oxygen, every bite of food tasted so foul because of the acidity messing up the taste senses that one was to force oneself to eat anything, pure lemon juice tasted sweet and everything else sour. I so no improvement and I was slipping deeper and deeper into a spiral of getting worse and worse.

Then I had someone do prayer of healing on me from my church, and a prayer of comfort, suddenly I felt like a power filled me and I could again breathe normally, and within hours I was able to walk up right again after almost one year of barely being able to get out of bed and back again, the immediate improvement was so sudden and so unexpected that I have to put it in my faith that I know this was divine, a miracle of healing that I personally experienced. I never had any problems again with keto-acidosis and I am so grateful for being granted a second life.
